    FBI raids target Trump lawyer Michael Cohen in expanding criminal investigation

    by Chris Megerian and Joseph Tanfani, Los Angeles Times Apr 10, 2018 5 minutes

    WASHINGTON - FBI agents launched a series of raids Monday targeting Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's combative personal lawyer and longtime confidant, prompting a furious denunciation from the president, who spoke for the first time in public of possibly firing special counsel Robert S. Mueller III.

    Armed with court-approved search warrants, FBI agents fanned out across Manhattan and reportedly seized computers, tax documents, emails, communications and business documents from Cohen's home, his office at a law firm in Rockefeller Center and his hotel room on Park Avenue.

    It is the first known federal investigation of a president's lawyer in the modern era, and Trump was quick to denounce the FBI operation as a "total witch hunt" and a "disgraceful situation."

    The raids were carried out by FBI agents working with the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan, which is headed by a Trump appointee, Geoffrey S. Berman.
